General improvements
Version 2021.g of CYPE’s programs is a closing version of the 2021 version.
As well as the new features and improvements expressly indicated in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal updates for all our programs is normally included. In each revision, all programs are systematically checked and changes are made to improve their performance, therefore, we recommend that our users (in this case those of v.2021) always update their version to the latest one, regardless of the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.

Exporting forces in bars for the analysis of connections in StruBIM Steel and CYPE Connect Steel
In version 2021.f of CYPECAD and CYPE 3D, the "Export forces to design connections" option has been added to each respective export dialogue from the design model to the BIM project on the BIMserver.center platform that they are connected to.
When this option is selected in CYPECAD or CYPE 3D, the forces designed at the ends of the steel elements (beams, columns, and also, in CYPECAD, bars in integrated 3D structures) are exported to the BIM project for the hypotheses of the combined actions included in the latest limit states.
Thus, the forces are available for modelling and designing the connections of this project in the CYPE Connect Steel and StruBIM Steel programs (shown in the attached image of the editor for modelling and analysing connections which is included in both programs).
Soon, this editor will also be available for CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

Features of the "Advanced design of surface foundations" module
The "Advanced design of surface foundations" module is common to CYPE 3D and CYPECAD. Nevertheless, the features of this module are different in each program:
- In CYPECAD
Allows users to design foundations with footings or pile caps with special intersections (intersections between strap and tie beams), establish polygonal limits for footings and enter line, point and surface loads on footings, pile caps, and strap and tie beams.
By being able to consider point, line and surface loads on the foundation elements, users can consider the effects of the load of the soil, screeds, façades, stairs etc. acting on the elements and take into account any possible favourable effect they may have on their equilibrium and size. - In CYPE 3D
Users can only place polygonal limits on footings.
As of the 2021.e version, so users who have this module in their license can use all of its features, those who have CYPE 3D in their license but not CYPECAD, can also use CYPECAD (2021.e version) and import a CYPE 3D project to design the foundation using all the tools the "Advanced design of surface foundations" module has in CYPECAD.
